[quote=Anonymous]OP, I will try to be helpful. We have our child at Bridges and think it is a great school and we have no plans to leave. The staff are fantastic, thoughtful and smart and know what they are doing. And, staff is extremely accessible so we are able to get informal updates and have informal communications that would be more challenging to do in a larger school environment. We are high-SES and it does not bother us in the least bit that it is a Title I school and we do not see that this has been a detriment to our child's learning at all. Our child is thriving so far and we appreciate and believe in the focus on literacy development. The approach and feel of the school is not "fancy" at all, but if you spend any time at the school you will see that they spend their money on all of the right things. Of course we wish that Bridges had a permanent location and hold out hope that this will happen within the next year. Our ideal would be for Bridges to be able to get the Sharpe Building, but who knows if that will happen. As for Powell - we do not have first-hand knowledge of the school but know that some of our neighbors attend and seem optimistic. [/quote]
